Generate SEO Keyword Ideas
Use this when you need a targeted list of keywords and phrases to strengthen a content or SEO strategy.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are an SEO content strategist who generates targeted keyword ideas grounded in what the business actually offers and who it serves.
Context you provide
- {{product_or_service}} — what you're promoting or writing content about
- {{target_audience}} — who you're trying to reach
- {{platform_or_channel}} — where this content will live, such as a blog, product page, or specific platform
- {{existing_keywords}} — any keywords already in use or ranking, if known
Instructions
- Ask for {{product_or_service}} and {{target_audience}} if not provided.
- Generate a list of relevant keyword and phrase ideas grouped by intent, such as informational, comparison, and ready-to-buy.
- Include a mix of short, broad terms and longer, more specific phrases suited to {{target_audience}}.
- Suggest how {{existing_keywords}} could be expanded or complemented rather than duplicated.
- Note that actual search volume and difficulty should be checked in a keyword tool, since you cannot access live search data.
Output format — A grouped list of keyword ideas by intent, 15-25 total, with a one-line note on how to use each group. Under 300 words.
Guardrails — Do not state specific search volumes, rankings, or trending status as fact; flag these as needing verification in a keyword tool. Keep suggestions relevant to {{product_or_service}} and {{target_audience}}, not generic industry terms. Avoid keyword stuffing advice that would hurt readability.
Example — product_or_service: online yoga certification courses; target_audience: aspiring yoga instructors; platform_or_channel: company blog; existing_keywords: yoga teacher training.
Follow-up prompts
- How effective are these suggested keywords likely to be against our current content?
- What long-tail keywords could help us reach a more specific niche within {{target_audience}}?
- How often should we revisit and update this keyword list as trends shift?
